Can anyone explain how the overall RSSI is calculated versus the per chain
RSSI? Sometimes, it seems to be the maximum of the per chain RSSI and
other times it's none of them.

I'm not an expert in these things, but to me it looks like the "overall RSSI" is
just the (logarithmised) sum of the per-chain RSSIs. Here is an example taken
from a frame received by a two chain system:
Total SSI: -63 dBm
"Antenna 0": -67 dBm
"Antenna 1": -66 dBm
10 * log10( 10^(-6,7) + 10^(-6,6) ) = -63.46
Best regards
Till
